My fiance and I are splitting up. We just haven't been a couple in a long time, we're more like roommates. Anyway our son who will be 4 in August has autism. I'm wondering if anybody's experienced this and how their children reacted. My son is very attached to me but he needs to be with his dad too. I'm just wanting some advice that will help my son with this new living arrangement.
Just after signing custody papers of my granddaughter, my husband left us on top of a mountain to rot, I guess. He had my Navigator picked up, then starved us out until I signed over a $600,000 cabin to him. I thank God the horrors of the next year did not permanently affect Zoey. To her credit, she is a beautifully positive child. These kids are tougher than we think. Hopefully, your fiance is a better person than my ex-husband, and will continue to be your son's father. That, as you can guess, is crucial. In any case, your little guy is now your first priority and the decisions you make from here on out, should be ones that will benefit and be positive ones for HIM.
I don't know if that helps, but you will get through this.
Thank you for your reply. I'm hoping he's better than that. We don't own a house and the little things that we bought together I could really care less about. I know I don't have a problem raising my son by myself because I won't be by myself. My father watches him after school until I get home from work and my mom and brothers are always supporting me and are very close to my son. I just don't know how to help my son. My parents have been married 40 some years, so being a single parent and not having both parents in a child's life are all new to me.
